Ceedo Technologies has developed patent-pending virtualization technology that takes a suite of standard off-the-shelf Windows applications, and virtualizes them in real-time, creating a portable virtual desktop, which launches on any Windows host PC with no need to pre-install any software, drivers or agents. Ceedo's portable virtual desktop runs on top of and leverages the exiting Windows OS on the host PC, thus eliminating the licensing costs, footprint and performance penalty of a full virtualized OS, and works fully in user mode, enabling operation on locked-down PCs. Ceedo's technology enables the most cost-effective solutions for many enterprise scenarios such as remote access, disaster recovery, and creating a managed enterprise 'island' on employee-owned and subcontractor-owned PCs. Ceedo provides the Enterprise IT with tools to fully customize the user interface, remotely deploy new applications, and update existing applications.
